Month: January 2013

Following the drama of the League Cup during the week, it was the FA Cup’s turn to shine this weekend as the 4th Round of the competition got under way. Despite a couple of quiet days, weather-wise, the snow re-appeared on Friday evening and by Saturday morning, the countryside was once again a sea of…

The last two days have seen both League Cup Semi-Finals (2nd Leg) being played, and as is so often the case, I experienced mixed fortunes across the two of them. I travelled down to Birmingham on Tuesday night to see Bradford (of League 2, the lowest tier of the Football League) take on Aston Villa, an established Premier…

I was at Anfield on Saturday to photograph Liverpool’s 5-0 victory over Norwich City in the Barclays Premier League. There was only one main aspect to my brief, which was to concentrate on man-of-the-moment Daniel Sturridge, the club’s new £12m signing from Chelsea.

I recently travelled down to Whiftgift School in Croydon, Surrey, to photograph a number of activities for a sport-specific prospectus they’re putting together in 2013. Whitgift is famous for it’s tradition of sporting excellence, consistently producing top-class sportsmen across a wide range of different fields, and as a consequence, the school continues to invest in coaching…

Just before Christmas, I shot some portraits for a friend of mine, Adam, and his brother, Pete. The finished print was to be a Christmas present for their parents. We met up at a studio in Stockport and proceeded to put a few ideas together for the pictures, eventually settling on a black background to keep it simple…
